简要总结
Aim of the work The aim of this study is to test an Arabic alphabet communication system designed to train physicians to communicate with Arabic-speaking patients with LIS.
Subjects and methods
- Place of study: Department of Neurology at Sohag university hospital
- Type of study: clinical trial.
- Subjects: Thirty healthy subjects from three different educational levels. Ten subjects have a preparatory education level, ten subjects with a high school education or its equivalent, and ten subjects who have a university education or are still in a university education stage. They will be collected from among patients' relatives and employees of Sohag University Hospital.
Methods of the study: The method shown in the figure No. 1 is the Arabic alphabet (arranged in the traditional order) printed on double-sided cardboard, with one copy facing the person and one facing the doctor.
The code will be in the case of a positive selection (the desired line or letter) by looking up or one blink, but in the case of a negative selection (not the desired line or letter), it will be by looking down or two blinks.
The person will choose the letters of each word and then choose the end of the word and after selecting all the words of the sentence choose the end of the sentence.
After the strategy has been taught to the subject, he or she will be asked to communicate with the physician using this way.

They will be collected from among patients' relatives and employees of Sohag University Hospital.
Methods of the study: the Arabic alphabet (arranged in the traditional order) printed on double-sided cardboard, with one copy facing the person and one facing the doctor.
The Arabic alphabet was divided into 4 groups and it was taken into account - as far as possible - to include letters of similar shape in the same group. Each group is listed on a separate line and given a number from 1 to 4 in addition to the letters, each line includes an option at the end of it to enable the person to change the line.
